GREENLAND PADDLE WORKSHOPS

Learn the step by step processes of building a traditional paddle; from sourcing and selecting quality lumber to carving and finishing. Each student leaves with a completed paddle, along with the knowledge and experience to make more. Workshops are 8 hours long with an hour long lunch break. Class sizes are small to offer one on one instruction and guidance, tailored for your specific needs and paddle. No paddling or woodworking experience required. All materials and tools are included, bring a big lunch and water.
